My parents are closing on the house I grew up in on Monday
and I am so freaked out
I really didn't think it would bother me too much since I didn't have such a great childhood 
It will be so weird to drive past and not be able to pull in the driveway

Re: My parents are closing on the house I grew up in on Monday
Oh I'm sorry. I know how you feel, my parent sold the house that I grew up in too last month. Plus they moved to Florida so it was a double blow. To be honest, I thought it would be alot worse driving past then it actually is.

Re: My parents are closing on the house I grew up in on Monday
I know how you feel ... My parents are going to contract on their house now and it's really upsetting. As much as I am looking forward to having them closer to us again, I really am sad to not be able to just walk into the house..
There should be a support group for this sort of thing!!

Re: My parents are closing on the house I grew up in on Monday
We moved all over as kids so I have no attachment - but my DH loves to drive by the house he grew up in all the time...

Re: My parents are closing on the house I grew up in on Monday
the childhood home was sold when I was 25, it was very sad.
I still look at MLSLI to see what houses in my old neighborhood are for sale even though i never considered moving back there. I'm glad your parents sold though, it was a long process right?

Re: My parents are closing on the house I grew up in on Monday
my mom sold her house a few years ago and I was so upset about it too. All those memories and occasions that occurred there! It was very strange at first....I actually make it a point NOT to drive by the house when I visit the town now. The new owners don't care for the house as well and it doesn't look as nice now

Re: My parents are closing on the house I grew up in on Monday
I still get nostalgic when I drive past our old house, they sold it when I was 18. I wish I could get in there to see what it looks like and compare it to my memories

Same here...my parents sold after their divorce, when I was 23. It was rough. And even more so when kids came along, b/c I had always wished to share my childhood home w/them, the way my Mom did with us.

Re: My parents are closing on the house I grew up in on Monday
I just went through this in August. It is so hard to go down my old block & see other people in front of the house. I was crying the night before they went to closing but I am glad to see a family making nice memories just like we did!
